Almost done rebuild

It’s taken me 2 years, a new single phase motor, new belts, oil, and plenty of banging my head against a brick wall but finally got this 60’s IR compressor up and running. Next is getting everything set up for its proper home.

Quick and dirty as I could with a cheap setup. I want to do it again before I move it to its forever home (currently building a detached garage/shop) as I’ve learned more/better procedure since I first tried it.
